I am trying to create an in-app tile like the image below (groups), with images flipping on the tile. I have gone through the HubTile but couldn't find. Which WP control would help to create such type of tile effect. Plus, will data binding of images be possible for the tile ImageSource ?
P.S. - This is not a live tile. I want the tile within the app.
Have you tried ImageTile control from Coding4Fun toolkit?
A detailed article on how to use it can be found on GeekChamp.
The Windows Phone Toolkit has a free HubTile control that can be used within your application. There are also commercial alternatives such as Telerik's HubTile.

I am developing an application for Windows 10 phone on Universal Windows Platform. I need to get a frame from the devices camera and do some processing; this is supposed to happen in the background, the user is not supposed to see the camera feed anywhere in the UI.
There are two classes that handle the most common use cases, namely CameraCaptureUI and MediaCapture. The MediaCapture class allows to grab the so called preview frame but the whole workflow revolves around binding a MediaCapture instance to a UI control (ie CaptureElement) and if I do not do it then I am unable to get the preview frames. This makes the MediaCapture class unsuitable for my case unless there is another way to use it that I am not aware of.
An answer to a related question How to get preview buffer of MediaCapture - Universal app suggests usage of Lumia Imaging SDK but it is targeted at Windows 8 family and the classes and methods used there are now deprecated in the current Lumia Imaging SDK for Windows 10.
Additionaly, the aforementioned answer brings up custom media sinks but I am unsure if that can help me in my scenario and if yes, then where should I start.
To sum up, how do I acquire frames from a camera device that can be used for further processing in a Windows 10 universal app?
There are multiple options available to you for this. CameraCaptureUI is not one of them.
Hide the CaptureElement
Opacity = 0
Visibility.Collapsed
Create it in code and don't add it to your layout
etc.
StartPreviewToCustomSink (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh700850.aspx) although I've never done this. This link might also help.
Once you've done that, you can take photos or just get preview frames. The CameraStarterKit will teach you the former, CameraGetPreviewFrame will teach you the latter.
How about you put a CaptureElement in UI, but hide it with overlay or set width / height to 1 ? Its kind of a hack but it will provide you the frame.
I am working on a Windows Phone 8 app, and have a question about UI design. Please take a look at the image below:
What I am trying to add to my app is something like the above UI under "recent" tab. That is, some kind of live tile style thing with-in the app.
If anyone has experience about how to build such kind of in-app tiles, please share some idea or code sample.
Thank you
The Windows Phone Toolkit provides a Windows Phone HubTile control:
Here is a tutorial on the Nokia Wiki that explains how to use it.
Use HubTile control from Windows Phone Toolkit library.
There are couple tutorials about that control available, e.g.

I need to show the Contact images on tiles randomly like a gallery, as similar to "People" tile in a windows mobile. . . Can anyone Suggest me how to do that. .
That is called Mosaic Tile. If u need this u should use Telerik Controls
Before you go an license Telerik controls, have a look at ImageTile control in Coding4Fun toolkit.
It does exactly that.
http://coding4fun.codeplex.com or get it from nuget
To create an Image dynamically look into WritableBitmap Image for a start.
